All over the web you will see people telling you the internet is an unsafe place to be, but the biggest danger doesn’t come from some one sitting at home intercepting your connection to your bank or Facebook. It comes from someone sitting in the same coffee shop as you getting between you and the […]

I’m in the mood for something a little different. So will I’m walking here on the treadmill this afternoon I thougnt I’d share what I’ve been working on. We all know I am a huge fan of MyFitnessPall but a little disapointed there isnt a public API I can write too. So I’ve written a […]

Well its Sunday again Its been another 7 days and according to my records I weigh slightly more than last week, but only by 0.2kg’s so not much. Thankfully yesterdays 80kg looks like it was only a blip. Having taken yesterday to ‘state my intentions’ for the week I thought tonight could be something different. […]

It feels like I’ve been waiting on this arriving for ever, but its only been 8 months. KitKat is finally been release to the previous Nexus devices and so far I’m happy with my experience. I’m yet to decided if I like using Hangout as my primary SMS app but it could grow on me. […]

Another day gone by, hump day in fact. Half way through my first week and there have been no bad days as yet and today was the first day there was no snacking which as you can imagine is a big step and one I’m very proud of. Tomorrow is the LUG meeting so I’m […]

Its a strange thing, that first morning, when you look in the mirror and ask yourself “What happened?”. For me this was back in March 2012 but denial was a large part of the problem at the time. Still I made the decided it was time for a change, but where do you start? While […]

No Tasker Sunday But there is good things coming This has been a busy week for me. At the end of last week I asked the Tasker Google+ community for some ideas of what they would like to see, and the first lesson I took away from that was – I should have asked sooner […]

Three Strike Rule means if you need to talk to me, keep calling. If not text This is just an information page. If you’ve come here from a text I sent after you tried calling me I hope this page will give you a little of the background to why, and show you how to […]

Thanks to some feed back from +Mike Lombardi over on the Tasker Google+ page I’ve updated my project a little. Instead of using a text file on the SD card to keep track of incoming calls I now use two arrays, one for the phone number and another to record the number of calls. I […]

This is an idea, like most, that came to me at 2am during a restless night. Like most Tasker creations it started with a simple problem. When I put my phone to sleep it goes silent till 5am, so what do you do if someone needs to reach you? What put the idea in my head was a text from my flat mate saying he’d left his keys at home and needed me to leave the door unlocked. In his case it was luck I was up late and got the text.

In a previous post I talked about installing CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha 3 on my HP TouchPad, but since Santa was very nice to me this year I now have a Nexu7, and of course I want to root it. Most of the toolkits and instructions I found talked about doing this thru Windows, but I’m […]

I have just finished installing CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha 3 on my HP TouchPad. Its gorgeous. I cant say I ever become a fan of WebOS, unlike some I’ve talked to it never grew on me and the rare times when I did want to make use of it the App Market was far too over […]
